Thank you, Coach Ellison, for all you do.

HUES wants to give a big shoutout to Houston Auction Block and Carl King for donating all these wonderful gifts towards our annual HUES Santa Shop! Our students will love it. Our Santa Shop workers are really busy organizing now. We appreciate your kindness.

Mrs. Pounds’ homeroom were the Golden Givers, earning a pizza party for donating the most canned food items during HUES’s Jr. Beta canned food drive. They showed incredible generosity and teamwork throughout the event. Together, they brought in over 500 canned food items from just their homeroom! Thank you to everyone that made this service project a success!

HUES students are having a "Poppin' Good Time." When students meet their AR reading goals, they get an enjoyable popcorn reward to celebrate their accomplishments. This fun and uplifting celebration keeps our students excited about reading. Students get to choose from 39 flavors of popcorn with an additional 6 toppings to top off their favorite flavor of popcorn. Our students are building knowledge, vocabulary, gaining confidence, and building fluency as they read their favorite books. We encourage all of our students to read everyday.

HUES teachers did not miss out on National Cookie Day thanks to our wonderful PTO!

We had a great turnout last night at the Winter Sneaker Ball. We danced the night away and had lots of laughs. Thank you to the parents for helping HUES PBIS. With these donations, we are able to provide more successful positive incentives for our students to continue towards succeeding.

At HUES, 5th graders got to listen to Mr. Peddric, aka. "JustCat" Gathings speak. He spoke about a lot of things, but the focus was on respect, choices, kindness, and motivation! Students were able to be inspired by one of the best. This time of the year can be trying, but we know all things can be possible. Thank you, Mr. Gathings, for coming today to speak to our students. They loved it and they will remember the words you said.

HUES Jr. Beta members collected and delivered over 1,500 canned food items to the Parkway Baptist Church Food Pantry today. Students took the lead in gathering, sorting, and transporting every donation. We hope their efforts make a meaningful impact on families in our community this holiday season. This project is a wonderful example of how Jr. Beta students truly "lead by serving others." They continue to show that when we lead by serving others, we can make a lasting difference in our community.

Mrs. Easley's class at HUES learned a little about the stages of matter today in Science by helping bake cakes! What a great hands-on activity that helped our students learn the material in a fun way! It was also real tasty!
